No.406: 2020 Gratitude // 22

A new series for 2020: if I record 20 things every week, I’ll have over 1,000 items by December 31.  
That’s a lot to be grateful for.

my grandfather, who died serving this beautiful country
Lego creations everywhere
when the sun peeks out from the clouds
getting a head start on school planning for next fall
all the new-to-us books that have been arriving in the mail all week
listening to little kids play pretend
the way P likes to line his board books on the windowsill, all in a row
Refrigerator Clean-Out Nights
the color green, which represents life and hope to me
a new chain for a broken necklace
feeling more like myself after a hard week
how much the kids love Mark’s homemade pizza
re-reading a favorite book and loving it just as much
my morning ritual of checking on the garden after breakfast 
how fast everything is growing!
the feeling of soil in my hands
piles and piles of folded laundry
chips and guacamole
a new plan for less screen time
belly laughs
